The Barr Brothers - Beggar in the Morning lyrics

Steady woman, won't you come on down? I need you right here on the ground I've walked the outskirts of this town Been terrorized by what I've found I saw a standing virgin bride Where holy Dionysus died She tore the heart out from his side And laid it there, and there she cried She said, "Hello, I'm a monster too..." "And what poisons me is what poisons you." Into these animals, we grew But when we were young our eyes were blue I take my medicine on my knee Twice a day but lately three It keeps the devil from my door And it makes me rich and it makes me poor I'm a beggar in the morning I'm a king at night My belt is loose My trigger is tight They come without warning At the speed of the light Make it shine so pretty Make it shine so bright I think I've come a long, long way To sit before you here today And they're yours alone, the songs I play To take with you or to throw away Oh, I want an angel to wipe my tears Know my dreams, my hopes, desires, and fears We may capsize, but we won't drown Hold each other as the sun goes down I'm a beggar in the morning I'm a king at night My belt is loose and My trigger is tight They come without warning At the speed of the light Make it shine so pretty Make it shine so bright
